The objective of this research is to assess the seismic performance of different types of electrical cabinets in nuclear power plants. The cabinets under investigation are: (a) Case 1: a short single cabinet; (b) Case 2: a tall single cabinet; (c) Case 3: separated cabinets; and (d) Case 4: a combined cabinet with coupling effects. To accurately capture the real behavior of the cabinet, three-dimensional finite element models are developed using ANSYS with connection non-linearity. Frequency domain decomposition (FDD) is used to determine the dynamic properties of the cabinets from shaking table testing data, and these results are utilized to validate the numerical model. The close match between the experimental and numerical results obtained from the modal analysis demonstrates the accuracy of the numerical model. Subsequently, transient structural analysis is performed on the validated models to explore seismic performance. The results show that the acceleration response of the combined cabinet is lower than the single cabinet and the separated cabinet. This observation suggests that top anchors used to combine two different types of cabinets play a crucial role in assessing the efficiency and seismic resistance of electrical cabinets in a nuclear power plant.

Structural modification in the electrical cabinet is investigated by a proposed procedure that comprises of an experimental, analytical and numerical solution. This research emphasizes the linear dynamic analysis of the cabinet that is studied under the seismic excitation to demonstrate the real behavior of the cabinets in NPP. To this end, an actual electric cabinet is experimentally tested using an impact hammer test which reveals the fundamental parameters of the cabinet. The Frequency-domain decomposition (FDD) method is used to extract the dynamic properties of the cabinet from the experiment which is then used for numerical modeling. To validate the dynamic properties of the cabinet an analytical solution is suggested. The calibrated model is analyzed under the floor response obtained from the Connecticut nuclear power plant structure excited by Tabas 1978 (Mw 7.4) earthquake. Eventually, the grouping effect of the cabinets is proposed which represents the influence on the dynamic modification. This grouping of the cabinets is described more sophisticatedly by the theoretical understating, which results in a significant change in the seismic response. Considering the grouping effects will be helpful in the assessment of the real seismic behavior, design, and performance of cabinets.

With regal extension of balcony, the flexible design to remodel interior space of apartment has appeared as a new trend. But this desire of residents is allowed partially because of lack of flexible furniture design. So this study proposed to design for flexible livingroom cabinets at 30 pyong apartment according to life styles and furniture uses. To satisfy the storage and decoration of livingroom cabinets, it focuses on diverse decorative demands as well as practical functionality. And it suggests the applications of flexible factors; opening and closing, extension and reducing, assembling and dismantling, rotation and transfer according to 3 types like child-centered, hobby-centered, couple-centered family.

특정 고압가스 등을 사용하기 위해 배관과 안전장치 등이 일체로 구성된 가스 실린더 캐비닛은 화재 발생 시 고온의 열로 인한 급격한 압력상승으로 실린더 폭발 및 파편 비산 등의 위험성을 가지고 있다. 이러한 위험성은 용기 내부에 충전된 가스의 유출을 초래하여 중독, 질식 등의 2차 피해를 발생시킬 가능성이 크므로 내부 용기로 인한 피해를 줄이기 위해서는 가스 실린더 캐비닛의 내화성능 확보가 매우 중요하다. 국외의 경우 가스 실린더 캐비닛이 화염에 노출되는 상황에서 일정 시간동안 내부의 실린더를 보호할 수 있도록 미국 NFPA code, 유럽 EN-14470-2 등에서 가스 실린더 캐비닛 내화시험 기준을 규정하고 있다. 하지만 국내의 경우 내압성능과 기밀성능 기준만 명시되어 있고, 그 대상은 배관계로 한정되어 있으며 국외보다 가스 실린더 캐비닛의 내화성능을 위한 연구 및 규정이 미흡한 실정이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 국내 가스 실린더 캐비닛의 내화성능 기준 확립을 위해 유한요소해석 프로그램인 ANSYS를 이용하여 열해석을 수행함으로써 화재 발생 시 구조, 재질 측면에서의 최적 조건을 도출하고자 한다.

Vertical open display cabinets are widely used in shopping mall, supermarkets, retail stores. Maintaining the temperature of foods in the display cabinet is vitally important to retailers to ensure optimal food quality and safety. The purpose of this study is to reduce the infiltration of air and heat loss from ambient space to display cabinet. The three-dimensional Computational Fluid Dynamics(CFD) simulation is used for the analysis of air flow patterns and temperature distribution in refrigerated display cabinets. Under several operating conditions which vary both the inner and outer jet velocities in the range from 0.3 to 1.1 m/s, simulations were carried out. This paper presents a performance of display cabinets with single jet and double jet. The energy consumption due to thermal entrainment ratio is plotted with varying Re. It was found that the double jet system is better than single jet system in terms of temperature distribution and energy saving.

연륜연대측정법을 사용하여 전통약장 2점에 대해 제작연대를 밝혀 편년을 정립하고 시대 변천에 따른 약장의 형태적 차이점을 논하고자 하였다. 연륜연대측정법은 목재 내의 연륜을 측정하여 1년의 오차도 없는 정확한 절대연도를 부여함으로써 제작연대를 알아내는 것이다. 경기도산으로 달려진 경기도박물관소장 약장 1점과 덕성여대박물관소장 약장 1점에 대한 연륜분석 결과, 마지막 연륜의 연도가 1884년과 1874년으로 각각 측정되었다. 시기는 거의 같게 나타났으나 형태, 구조, 목재 재질 등의 상이함이 컸다. 이는 시대적인 차이가 아니라 제작자와 사용자의 취향, 안목, 재력 등이 제작에 반영된 결과로 보인다. 한편, 경기도 약장으로 분류된 것이지만 연륜패턴 일치도 분석결과 목재의 산지는 강원도 설악산과 강릉지역으로 나타나 경기 지방의 가구제작에 강원도 목재가 사용되었음을 알 수 있었다.

This is the third consecutive study on the 'Standardization of Measurements for Korean Kitchen work cneters and cabinets for future design criteria I, II'. The present research consisted of two studies 1) the examination of attitudes and responses of consumers toward kitchen work centers and cabinets, and 2) comparision of actual measurements with the models suggested in study II. Homemakers of upper and middle class residing in Seoul were selected for the survey: 1,096 survey questionaires on consumer attitudes and 95 questionnaires on actual measurements were used. Data were analyzed using the SAS computer package.

Electrical instruments and devices contained in cabinets for controlling nuclear power plants require seismic qualification; likewise, in-cabinet response spectrum (ICRS) is necessary. Gupta et al. (1999) suggested the Ritz method, where rocking, frame bending, and plate bending behaviors of cabinets are considered, as a method for determining ICRS. This research proposes a method to determine the rocking stiffness of cabinets, which represents its rocking behavior. The cabinet is fixed on mounting frames and is connected to the base concrete by anchors. When horizontal excitation is applied to the cabinet, the mounting frames at anchors are locally deformed, the mounting frames are bent, and then rocking in the cabinet becomes evident. A method to determine equivalent vertical spring stiffness representing the local deformation of the mounting frames at anchors is then proposed. Subsequently, the rocking stiffness of this mounting frame is calculated upon assumption of the mounting frame as an indeterminate beam.

This study is a basic study on the seismic reinforcement method of anchors of fixed parts in order to reduce the effect of seismic motion that affects the facilities in the event of an earthquake. By applying the test method of ICC ES AC 156, a seismic simulation experiment was performed on the vibration table with three axes simultaneously using the number of connecting bolts between cabinets and channels as a parameter. In addition, the reliability of the experiment was verified using numerical analysis, and the part about the dynamic characteristics that could not be performed according to the experimental limit was investigated through numerical analysis. As a result of the experiment, it was confirmed that the natural frequency of the main body was increased due to the increase in the number of connecting bolts between the cabinet-channel. Accordingly, it was judged that the rigidity of the lower part of the cabinet was increased due to seismic reinforcement. It was analyzed that the impact delivered to the body was effectively reduced. In the future, if the reinforcement of the connection parts mentioned in this study is added to the existing seismic reinforcement of the electrical cabinets, it is expected that the damage to the electrical cabinets of the power plant equipment caused by an earthquake will be effectively reduced.
